Kylian Mbappe has added to his burgeoning reputation by matching a 60-year-old World Cup record held by Pele.

The France star scored twice in a thrilling 4-3 second-round victory against Argentina to send Les Bleus into the quarterfinals, becoming the first teenager to score more than once in a World Cup game since 1958.

Mbappe, 19, became the youngest goalscorer for France at a major tournament when he scored a close-range winner to down Peru in the group stage.

But the Paris Saint-Germain forward, the second-most expensive player in history behind teammate Neymar, went one better as France beat Argentina in Kazan.
